Chapter 1338 Going up the mountain again (I rolled over and went to sleep)

Duanmu Huai felt that he came here to investigate the evil god, not to fight a desperate city.

But when Duanmu Huai took Sha Jiuye out of the hotel, he discovered to his despair that he seemed to have really run to the set of a disaster movie.

The whole town was now dark. The violent earthquake had apparently cut off the power supply, and people were everywhere in shock. Some dilapidated houses had collapsed, and the streets were lit by flickering flashlights and cell phones. After that, the hotel staff and several other guests also ran out, looking around anxiously.

Although the incident happened suddenly, everyone in this terrible place like Japan had received post-disaster evacuation training, so after discussing it, everyone decided to take refuge in school first and then make a decision.

When the group arrived at the school, there were already some people gathered there, including some crying children.

"Ah, Duanmu, Shajiuye! You are all okay, that's great!"

Someone who knew them saw the two of them coming and hurried over to speak.

"Is it bad?"

"Of course, we have never seen an earthquake of this magnitude here, and we don't know what's going on... There's not even a disaster warning... And even the communication lines are damaged, and there's no signal on mobile phones. The mayor has already sent someone out to report the situation, so I think someone will come to help us soon."

"I can't take it anymore!"

Just then, a tourist from out of town shouted.

"I don't want to stay here, let me leave, I want to go back!"

"Rumble, rumble..."

However, not long after the tourist finished shouting, a truck suddenly drove into the campus. Seeing the truck, many people, including the tourist, rushed over and blocked the way of the truck.

"Wait, take us out of here! I can give you any money you want......!"

However, when the villager who had been talking to Duanmu Huai saw the truck, his expression suddenly changed. He walked to the side and yelled at the driver.

"What's going on? Didn't I ask you to go get help?"

"I can't get out!"

However, the driver's answer surprised everyone.

"The tunnel leading to the outside collapsed, and we can't get out now!"

"what?"

"How could this be?"

"Everyone please calm down, calm down!"

Good guy...

  Seeing this, Duanmu Huai scratched his head. Has he really run into a copy of a disaster movie?

"Daisuke! Daisuke!"

Just then, Duanmu Huai saw several aunts running over and surrounding the villager who had been talking to him.

"Azhe and the others haven't come back yet! Could something have happened?"

"What? Are you sure?"

"Of course, according to the time, they should have gone down the mountain long ago, but there has been no movement, and there has been no response when I called... Now there is an earthquake, I wonder if something has happened to them!"

If Duanmu Huai's guess was correct, these ladies should be relatives of the workers who built the road before. No wonder they were so anxious. With such a strong earthquake, no one dared to imagine what would happen on the mountain. Obviously, the villager thought the same thing.

"I understand, Mustard, but you can see the current situation. There is no way to send out a search and rescue team! There is not even any light now. Going up the mountain in the dark will only be more dangerous!"

"How could that be? Are you going to watch someone die without helping?!"

"That's not what I meant! But it's really dangerous to go up the mountain now. We have to wait until daybreak at least..."

"Then I don't know what will happen!"

Looking at the noisy scenes around him, Duanmu Huai sighed helplessly. He originally hated crowded places, and now this noisy and chaotic environment was even more unbearable for Duanmu Huai.

Forget it. I'm free anyway. Although I haven't seen any evil gods or anything like that so far, as a judge of the Tribunal, I still have to do my job.

"elder brother?"

"Wait here."

Patting Sha Jiuye's head, Duanmu Huai walked over to the unlucky guy who was besieged by the villagers.

“Their families all built roads in the mountains?”

"Yeah, hey, I never thought something like this would happen, but given the current situation, we simply can't send anyone..."

"I'll go take a look."

"Hey? You going?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard Duanmu Huai's proposal.

"You must be kidding. You may not know this because you haven't been back for many years. The mountains here are very dangerous. And who knows if there will be an earthquake. What if something happens..."

"Don't be afraid. At least I'm familiar with handling emergencies. It's not realistic to send people up the mountain at this time, so I might as well go up and take a look. It just so happens that I met them during the day today and I know the location of the construction site. I'll go take a look at the situation and then make a decision."

"this……………"

Faced with Duanmu Huai's proposal, the villager hesitated for a moment. In the end, perhaps because Duanmu Huai's physique did give them enough sense of security, the villager nodded.

"Okay, I'll go tell the mayor!"

The mayor was straightforward. When he heard that Duanmu Huai was going to volunteer to go to the mountain to find the workers, he nodded in agreement. Of course, the mayor did not let Duanmu Huai go empty-handed. He also gave Duanmu Huai a radio station for emergency use. After all, if Duanmu Huai really found the workers, he would definitely report their situation. At present, the communication here is interrupted and mobile phones are useless. Therefore, only this radio station can be used to contact the town.

For ordinary people, the radio station is as heavy as a big schoolbag when carried on the back, but for Duanmu Huai, it can be tied around the waist and becomes a waist bag, which does not take up any space. Of course, to be on the safe side, he also took a medical bag. In this way, if these workers have any external injuries, it is easy to treat them on the spot.

The mayor originally planned to give Duanmu Huai a hunting rifle for self-defense, but Duanmu Huai directly refused. He knew his own business, and with Duanmu Huai's shooting level, the probability of hitting his own people was higher than hitting wild animals. So Duanmu Huai decisively refused the hunting rifle, which was embarrassing, and chose a gun instead - well, there was no war hammer, so Duanmu Huai had to settle for an engineer shovel.

It just so happened that I was going into the mountains, so I COSed as the Krieg Death Corps. But just when Duanmu Huai was ready to go into the mountains...

"what do you mean?"

Looking at Sha Jiuye in front of him wearing jeans and a hoodie, Duanmu Huai had almost guessed it, but he still asked.

"Because my brother is going up the mountain, right? So I want to go with him too."

"It's very dangerous in the mountains at night."

"This sentence also applies to my brother. I know that he is very confident, but if you walk by the river often, you will get your shoes wet. Hasn't he ever thought about what to do if something happens? What should I do then?"

"I don't think there will be any accidents..."

With Duanmu Huai's current physical condition, he can tear the evil god apart with his bare hands in the game group. He doesn't think that a mere deep mountain forest can pose any threat to him.

“That’s why I feel uneasy.”

"……………All right."

Duanmu Huai thought about it and did not object to Sha Jiuye's request. He did not know what the current situation was, but based on the games and real experiences Duanmu Huai had gone through, even if he refused Sha Jiuye to go up the mountain with him, the little girl behind him might still follow him up secretly.

Rather than letting her die in a place beyond his control, it would be better to take her with him. Anyway, with Duanmu Huai's strength, he didn't believe that this place could bring him any trouble.

By the way, Duanmu Huai can now be sure that this sister is deliberately created by the system to make things more difficult for him.

If he were alone, he would have killed his way through this broken mountain long ago.

Now with a little burden...Okay, I'll kill you all the same!

At least this sister is more obedient and won't run around. Compared to those NPCs in the game who run around and refuse to listen to advice, making players want to kill them more than the boss, she is much better.

So just like that, Duanmu Huai and his three companions left the town and followed the mountain road to the construction site above again.

Hmm? Three people?

Well, this time it wasn't that Duanmu Huai didn't count to three, but there were indeed three people - when Duanmu Huai and Sha Jiuye left the school, one person caught up with them. It was none other than Mr. Yamahara who had met in the camp before. The latter said that the sudden earthquake this time was very strange, so he had to return to the camp again to check the measurement results of the seismic instruments there.

So Duanmu Huai asked Teacher Yamahara to drive the truck, and he and Sha Jiuye sat in the back, and drove up the mountain road.

Although there were some gravel and mud along the way, the journey was smooth at first. However, the higher we went, the more difficult it became to move forward. Finally, when we were about to reach the camping site, Mr. Yamahara stopped the car.

"It looks like we'll have to walk next."

Duanmu Huai was not surprised to see the gravel and trees that had fallen to the ground and completely blocked the road. Teacher Yamahara and Sakuya could only bite the bullet and step over the trees, following Duanmu Huai forward.

“I never thought the situation on the mountain would be so serious.”

As he walked, Mr. Yamahara shone a flashlight around him and muttered to himself.

"The earthquake, which was originally small in magnitude, suddenly increased in intensity. No matter how you look at it, there is something wrong."

"Really? Earthquakes are like that anyway."

Duanmu Huai didn't take it seriously. In his memory, earthquakes were something that appeared suddenly.

"That's true for humans, but for instruments, the detection can be more precise."

Teacher Yamahara also started to explain.

"According to the earthquake detection equipment I recovered at school and home, there have actually been small earthquake fluctuations during this period. However, just now, these fluctuations suddenly became active at once. I think this should be related to the earthquake in the mountains. In other words, why did such an earthquake suddenly occur without any warning? Perhaps..."

Duanmu Huai decisively blocked the knowledge popularization of Mr. Shanyuan. He was not interested in these boring things at all. Fortunately, they had passed the road blocked by overturned trees and rubble and came to the camping site they had visited during the day. When he saw the tent he had placed there, Mr. Shanyuan hurriedly quickened his pace and ran towards it.

"It's right there. I want to see the data here... Wow!"

However, perhaps because he was not paying attention to his feet, Teacher Yamahara suddenly fell forward. Seeing this, Sakuya hurried over.

"Teacher Yamahara, are you okay..."

However, before Sakuya could finish his words, he just stood there.

"Ugh...what's going on? What is this?"

At this moment, Mr. Yamahara also sat up, subconsciously picked up the flashlight and looked towards the place where he tripped, and then...

“Wow, what is this!!”

  It’s no wonder that this middle-aged man in his forties screamed so miserably, because at this moment, not far from Teacher Yamahara’s feet, there was a corpse!

"A corpse......"

Compared to Sha Jiuye who stood still and the terrified Teacher Yamahara, Duanmu Huai was much calmer. He walked over, shone a flashlight on the corpse in front of him, and then turned it over.

Under the illumination of the flashlight, it was clearly visible that the body was wearing a blue work suit and a yellow helmet. The searchlight on the helmet seemed to have been broken when it fell. But this was not important. What was important was the scars on the body. They were not caused by being hit by a tree or something. When Duanmu Huai turned the body over, it was clearly visible that there were deep lacerations from the chest to the abdomen of the body, and the internal organs were scattered all over the floor.

The corpse's expression of fear and screaming seemed frozen at the moment before death, making it even more terrifying under the pale light.

Duanmu Huai reached out and took out a name tag from his chest. His name was written on it - Sanmu Jun.

"Is he, he's dead? Brother?"

At this moment, Sha Jiuye also asked in a low voice. She stretched out her hands to cover her mouth, as if a shrill scream would be heard if she let go. Well, Duanmu Huai was quite relieved that his sister did not become a supporting actor who tried her best to use screams to create a horror atmosphere at this time.

"He is dead."

Duanmu Huai let go of the corpse and stood up.

"Although I don't know how long the body has been dead, it looks like it has been dead for a short time. Moreover, he was not killed by rocks or trees, but was murdered."

"Killed?"

Hearing this, Sha Jiuye and Teacher Yamahara were even more shocked, but Duanmu Huai did not answer her question. Instead, he just picked up the engineer shovel in his hand and looked around.

"We'll find out pretty soon."
